called s meeting in that city and submit
ted proposition to pay 10 cents on the
dollar in cash, It is said nearly all
the American creditors signifed their
Willingness to accept the proposition, but
the English and German creditors, some
OF whom were represented, were obiu-
rate and unwilling to settle on such
b.sis. It is therefore believed that nego-
ti:tions looking toward the settlement of
Kaufman & Runge's Indebtedness are
for the time at standstill,
although Runge continues his
efforts in New York. Gradually the fscts
OF the great cotton deal of last summer
sre becoming known. It is stated upon
good authority that Ruuge psid out some
thing over 100000 on his cotton and
wheat losses last June and July and that
when the final crash came ne
was still owing about $500, 900 to his
several brokers st New York and New

this lstter indebtedness that Is now in the
course of adjustment. Il will be seen
that even at fifteen cents on the dollar
Mr.. Runge would require about 500 600
in cash to settle, snd this money, it is
said, is placed at his command for this
purpose by one of his friends and ad-
mireTs.

The treatment OF many thousands of cases
OF those chronic weaknesses and distressing
ailments peculiar to females, at the InYalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, n. Y,
has afforded a vast experience in nicely
adapting and thoroughly testing remedies
for the cure of woman's peculiar maladies.
Br. Pierce's E'avOrite Prescription
Is the outgrowth, or result, of this great
and valuable experience. Thousands of
testimonials, received from patients and
from physicians who have tested it in the
more aggravated and obstinate cases which
had battled their skill, prove it TO be the
most wonderful remedy ever devised for
the relief and cure of suffering women. It
IS not recommended as a cure-al,' but
as a, most perfect Specific for woman's
peculiar ailments.
AS a powerful, inyigOrating tonic.
It imparts strength to the whole system,

CONGRESSIONAL PROSPECTS.
Not Much Show for Anything. Except Ap-
propriation Bills.

WASHINGTON CITY, Jan but fifty one
working DAYS remain of the Forty ninth
congress. Only one appropriation bill-the
urgent deticiencv-has been passed by both
branches of congress, and only one other ap-
preparation bill has passed the house, and
that is the su ndry civil, now before the sen.
ate comm ittee on appropriations Two OF
three DAYS will be consumed by delivery OF
eulogies on deceased senators and members.
With so much to do on appropriations, it is
generally believed that little else will BE- at
tempted Certainly nothing of Importance
will be begun until they are out of the way.
There are features in the appropriation bills
which sill call out great deal of debate
and the Importance of commanding on then
at once, 50 as to have the margin Of time OF
the safe side. is readily recognized and fully
appreciated by nearly all members.
Tn president Monday approved the bill
to extend the free delivery system of tn

viding for public building at Springfield
Mass. and the act for the relief of the sur
